Everyone stood in the great hall and Erline pulled out a dream catcher, "This should show us the memories this Wizard erased," And she used her magic on the dream catcher and memories from Faylinn's past appeared.

(Flashback)

Fourteen year old Faylinn run down the stairs from her room in the orphanage in Vishna when Keegan lighted the candle.
"I made some tea. Wanna join me?," And Faylinn grabbed onto her jacket, "No," And Keegan sighed, "Say it yourself. You know by my count there are fifteen separate subconscious signs or tells that one of our foster children's displays when she or he is going to run away when they get older or on their first night. In the brief time we were together, you showed seven. Not that I blame you. When I was younger I did the same thing," "You ran away?,"Young Faylinn asked confused. "I tried to,"Keegan smiled and he shrugged, "People in my life they... They intervened. You wanna know why?," "Does it matter?,"Faylinn asked uninterestingly. "It did to me,"Keegan explained, "They stopped me, because they cared about me," "Lucky you,"Faylinn said uninterestingly. "No, lucky you,"Keegan smiled, "Because now when you're living under Ellette's roof, and I live and work here, I'm gonna care for you the way they cared for me," And Faylinn looked at him angrily, "Well, don't waste your time. I'm not interested," And Keegan nodded, "Hmm, you said it yourself. Go, I won't stop you," "You won't?," Faylinn asked confused. And Keegan shook his head and chuckled, "No, go on, more tea for me," And Faylinn turned to leave. "I understand how hard it must be to live under the same roof as Elwin who's deathly afraid of spiders,"Keegan interrupted. And Faylinn turned her head. "All kind of them. Small spiders, big spiders. Even the ones that's not even dangerous,"Keegan explained. And Faylinn turned to him, "Maybe I could stay for one more day," And Keegan smiled, "Works for me,"

"Faylinn, that's you,"Erline smiled, "You must be...," "Thirteen. Maybe fourteen,"Faylinn sighed, "Everything of his time with me, he erased," And Eldrin sighed, "But he must have wanted you for something. The question is what," And Faylinn sighed, "Well, he's the only one who knows," And Eldrin sighed.
